Sidd, there is no need to increase the length of the passwords. I understand
that passwords are good for those people who print their PIKs and may loose
them; it's a simple security backup system. For such a case, passwords need
to be short to be easily remembered. Also, people who log-in from a public
computer only need to remember their limited access password. So, the
current password doesn't need to change.

However, this still leaves an account opened for automated password
cracking. Therefore, the system has to lock (for 24 hours) an account for
which there are too many consecutive failed log-ins (for example, 10). This
means that each PIK must be unique, so that the system can at any time
determine to what account each PIK belongs.

The only things that still bugs me is an easier way in input the elements of
the PIK, in the log-in form.
